Funny thing is they don't disclose their funding.
I can only infer it. They seem to wuv micosoft and MCSEs. At least half the MCSEs I've delt with are oxygen thieves (about the same ratio as CNEs and, I'm sorry to say, only slightly worse then BSEEs). Theirs study 'shows' that MCSEs are good at what they do. Ergo their credibilty is suspect.
Another interesting quote found on slashdot. Senior MS exec. 'We can't disclose source because some of it is so flawed (Message queing and others not listed,) that is would be a national security issue to release it.'
Yeah, but somebody else does.
